Ingredients

• 1 piece (approximately 1.5 lbs) Pork fillet
• 12 slices Streaky bacon
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your BBQ grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork fillet and pat it dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Rub the fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle it with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring an even coating all around.

Step 4

Lay the bacon slices on a cutting board, slightly overlapping to form a bacon blanket. Place the pork fillet at the edge of the bacon blanket and carefully roll it, tucking the bacon tightly around the meat.

Step 5

Secure the bacon with toothpicks or kitchen twine at intervals to prevent it from unraveling during cooking.

Step 6

Brush the bacon-wrapped fillet lightly with barbecue sauce, reserving the rest for later.

Step 7

Place the pork fillet on the grill or in an oven-safe baking dish if cooking in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, baste the fillet with more barbecue sauce and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the fillet from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the fillet into 1-inch rounds and garnish with fresh thyme. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
